Thomas Jefferson: President and Philosopher Hardcover – September 9, 2014

I purchased this book for pleasure reading to get to know more about Jefferson. Meacham's style reads likea novel. Excellent reference to get to know the life and times of Thomas Jefferson.

The book brings Jefferson to life in a way traditional schooling does not. His genius and flaws are a window into his life and our country’s creation.

This was a gift for my little nephew who has promised to do a book report on this book when he is done. I will inform you when he is done. I read Meacham's adult book on Jefferson - wonderful!

Well written and informative. Jefferson was a complex individual. His pursuit of freedom for America starkly contrasts with his ownership of slaves. My fascination with Jefferson began with a visit to Monticello. This book is one of three I've read on his life and times.

Great book for school students (large print).

I've been doing extensive reading in the area of early American history and I have seem Jon Meacham sitting on various TV forums so I thought that his wisdom would be interesting. Unfortunately, what I found was a re-hash of most of the things I had already read about Jefferson. Nothing new and lots-and-lots of pictures. A middle school student would learn a lot but if you already read about the period you probably already know everything that Meacham was written.

Excellent I highly recommend.

Enjoyed his view on the life of TJ.

No complaints re vendor; can't say the same about the quality of the text!
